It's Snowing in South America

Not only are the floods increasing and the droughts become harsher around the world... now it has even snowed in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires!

"Despite all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen snow in Buenos Aires," 82-year-old Juana Benitez was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.

Temperatures plunged to -22C (-8F) in parts of Argentina's province of Rio Negro, while snow fell on Buenos Aires for several hours on Monday.

This is the first sight of snow in the capital since 1918.

Global warming and global freezing...
